"No change in the situation re

Dure Slackens
Other reports indicated that

B itain's -econd biggest strong

veloped in land fighting on the
Malay peninsula.
Not Confirmed
The German radio quoted Tok
yo reports that Japanese troops
h ' invaded -its of Hongkong
island, but there was no confir
mation elsewhere,
Previ sly, the British had ac
knowledged withdrawing their
forces from Kowloon, on the
mainland, separated by a nar
row stretch of vz'.z from Hong
kong island.
Fresh Troops
Observers in Manila said the
letup in Japanese pressure
against Luzon island meant that
: the Mikado's invasion forces
were moving fresh troops and
. supplies into position off the is
land coasts, resting pilots, over
hauling planes and generally
preparing for a powerful attack
Imperial Tokyo headquarters
reported that sea-borne Japanese
troops, buffeted by a gale, had
succeeded in gaining a foothold
' at dawn on the coast of Borneo,
which lies within 600 miles
bombing range of Manila.
Malaya Battle
Simultaneously, London quar
ter reported "very heavy fight
ing" between British and Jap
anese troops in the jungles of
Malaya, tbere Japanese mech
anized forces were said to have
smashed forward some 40 to 50
miles on the 400-mile road to
Singapore.
0. S. Fleet on Prowl
At sea, under orders to "seek
out the enemy and destroy him,"
formidable ships of the U. S.
battle fleet were reported scour
ing vast areas of the Pacific in
quest of the Japanese fleet and
a fight to avenge Japan's sneak
attack on Pearl harbor in the
treacherous opening attack of
the -war on "bloody Sunday"
Dec. 7.
Secretary of the Navy Knox
announced that the main body
of the fleet battleships, aircraft
carriers, heavy and light cruis
ers and submarines "all are at
sea seeking contact" with the
enemy.
Base Attacked
Japanese bombers again at

-Manila bay, 50 miles from the
Philippine capital, but no details
were given.
A Manila dispatch timed. 4 p.
m., Manila time (2 a. m. EST),
said there had been no raid in
Manila for 28 hours.
A Tokyo communique, by
contrast, asserted that mass Jap
anese raids struck at U. S. air
bases near Manila and set fire
to military barracks northeast of
the cit7.
"No change in the situation on

had an appointment with Knox
and Vinson said he would try
to arrange for the cabinet of
ficer's appearance. '
Since Knox, after detailing
the navy's losses for the first
time yesterday, announced that
President Roosevelt would make
a formal investigation of the
attendant circumstances, it
seemed evident that the chief
executive's inquiry would take
precedence and might determine
the scope of any congressional
investigation.
Senate leaders were generally
agreed that Mr. Roosevelt's pro
jected investigation would fore
stall any similar action by their
chamber.
On both sides of the capitol,
Knox's report was received with
considerable relief. As Rep.
Magnuson (D-Wash.) put it-r-"If
that's all the loss, we still have
naval superiority in the Pacific,
and I have no doubt that the
navy will make up ten times
over for each ship lost."

Defense Bond
Campaign Started
A Southern Pacific defense
bond campaign by which em
ployes may purchase defense
stamps and bonds through wage
deductions this week is under
way in the Klamath division of
the railroad. Carl Farrell of the
SP Trainmaster's office reported
Tuesday.
Members of the big SP family
may have any amount they
specify deducted from their
checks, be said. Whenever suf
ficient money has been accumu
lated to purchase a bond the
bond will be delivered to the
purchaser.
Some employes are buying an
$18.75 bond each week, others
are saving toward a $500 bond.
Farrell stated.
A spokesman for the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company
said that Tuesday morning's
ower difficulty was due to
transmission trouble outside this
division. He disclosed that
electric power was getting
through to Algoma on the north,
Dairy on the east and Tulelake
to the southeast but beyond
those points information was
lacking.
The official stated that due
to road and communication con
ditions, it was not possible to
fully determine the extent of
the storm's damage to power
lines.
The Southern Pacific report
ed at noon that there was a
complete shutdown of power in

"The important thing now,"
the statement said, "is that such
forms of censorship as are neces
sary shall be administered ef
fectively and in harmony with
the best interests of our free in
stitutions." It is necessary, Mr. Roosevelt
declared, that in the interest of
national security, military infor
mation which might be of aid
to the enemy "be scrupulously
withheld at the source."
It is necessary to set up pro
hibitions, to be rigidly enforced,
against domestic publication of
some types of information, Mr.
Roosevelt said.
Folks are taking up bicycle
riding to reduce. Bet they'll fall
off quite a bit.
